Hey, just found this site today and am pretty excited to get started. I havent been what I call physically fit in 12 years or so. Back then I had trained with the USMC lifeguard teams, so I have alot of work to do!

Love the information and the service provided here! Thank you!

Ok, updated! :) Can't do pics for some reason, will try that later.

Quick question (maybe the wrong place?) on the general workout, I am looking to get a starting weight for things like bench, etc. I can't remember the percentage I am looking for, but I seem to remember something about figuring max weight (saw the calculator for it) then a percentage of that should be your working weight, like 70% or 80%??

Thanks
